 Icemaker overfilling - spilling water Brand: Kenmore Model Number: 363.8597710 Age: More than 10 years
Recently I removed and gently cleaned our icemaker unit after seeing small black flecks in the ice. After reinstalling it, it does make ice, but it seems that too much water is being let into it, since I see water coming out of the ice chute, accumulating in the ice bin, and spilling into the freezer. Since I can't leave the unit open to watch an entire cycle, I don't know if it's putting too much water in at once, or if it's letting water in too frequently, or what. I've turned off the water supply to avoid leakage and spills for now. Does anyone know how the unit determines how much water should go in? Is there a float valve or something that might have gotten stuck when I was cleaning the unit? Thanks - it's getting hot in Georgia and we need ice! |
